About
Gennaro Santoro is a pioneering figure in the application of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for cardiac malignancies, a field where radiobiological and technical challenges have historically constrained the use of radiation therapy. His most cited work, "Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy with Cyberknife for Cardiac Malignancies" (2015, 23 citations), demonstrates his key contribution: demonstrating the feasibility and promise of delivering focused, high-dose radiation to primary and secondary cardiac tumors using CyberKnife technology. This research addresses a critical gap in oncologic care, offering a non-invasive treatment option for patients with limited alternatives. Santoro’s work has helped establish SBRT as a viable modality in cardio-oncology, influencing clinical protocols and inspiring further investigation into precision radiotherapy for the heart. His achievements underscore a commitment to translating advanced radiation techniques into life-saving therapies for complex, high-risk patient populations.
